Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 whole yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 whole red onion, cut into wedges
• 12 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably longer for better flavor absorption.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion.

Step 7

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.

Step 8

Grill the kabobs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken kabobs hot, and enjoy your flavorful, dairy-free meal!
